★ Side by side

Two AlteaCloud paths,
side by side.

WooCommerce or a fully custom AI-built store — and how both compare to a hosted Shopify alternative. Honest trade-offs, no spin.

. WooCommerce + AlteaCloud Custom build by AlteaCloud Shopify
Setup time ~5 working days, we build it for you Tailored to scope Hours (DIY) or 2–4 weeks with an agency
Recurring platform fee €0 — open-source software €0 — your own code $39–$399 every month, forever
Extra transaction fees on top of payments 0% 0% 0.5–2% (unless you use Shopify Payments)
Custom design Unlimited — your design, our code Unlimited from the ground up Limited to themes & their settings
You own the store ✓ Your code, your data, your hosting ✓ Every line of code is yours ✗ Hosted on Shopify
Migrate away later Easy — standard WordPress export Owned outright (no platform to leave) Hard — re-platform, lose data
EU VAT, GDPR, EU couriers Built in by default Built to your exact flows Add-on apps (extra cost)
Best for Most stores, custom design, EU compliance, scale Unique product flows, complex business logic, scale-up brands Quick to launch, low complexity
Honest take: WooCommerce works for ~90% of stores — fastest path to live, lowest cost of ownership. Custom is for the ~10% with truly unique product flows or business logic that off-the-shelf can't handle.
